Metallkomplexe naphthyl‐substituierter Thioharnstoffderivate

Metal Complexes of Naphthyl‐substituted Thiourea Derivatives The thiourea derivative N, N‐diethyl‐N′‐2‐naphthoylthiourea ( 1 ) and three N‐(dialkylaminothiocarbonyl)‐N′‐(1‐naphthyl)‐arylamidines ( 2 ‐ 4 ) have been synthesized and Cu^II‐, Ni^II‐ and Pd^II‐complexes of them have been prepared. According to the X‐ray structure analyses 1 with Cu^II and Ni^II under deprotonation forms neutral bis‐chelates of nearly square‐planar coordination with a cis arrangement of the O and S ligator atoms. Using their N and S atoms in 1, 3 position as ligators, 2 ‐ 4 in deprotonated form coordinate to Cu^II and Pd^II as neutral bis‐chelates, in the case of Cu^II with a distorted tetrahedral coordination. Pd^II is coordinated square planar and has, probably due to the spatial influence of the 1‐naphthyl groups, a trans arrangement of the N and S ligator atoms.
